Last day of the school hols - day trip to South Shields

Last day of Christmas school hols so decided to have a day out on the coast at South Shields. There was a sharp overnight frost so the sun was out all day. We went swimming first at Haven Point, the councils new complex which has three pools- main 25m, small kids pool and play pool area with tubes, slides, fountains etc. What i like about the main pool is the glazing is down to floor level and when the sun it shines through onto the water and you can see straight outside. After 40 lengths and quite a few goes on the flumes it was a trip to the cafe inside the complex washed down by icecreams at the crazy golf hut. To burn some of that off it was a brisk walk up the beach to gypsies green and back along the path to the boating lake for a ride on the steam train. By this time it was fish & chip time so had a walk upto Colemans for a takeaway then a cruise home along the coast to Rocker then through Sunderland & home.
